From Consumer Choice To Consumer Welfare, Carl E. Schneider
From Consumer Choice To Consumer Welfare, Carl E. Schneider
Articles
In trying to understand the I SUPPORT study, it may be useful to think of contemporary bioethics reform in terms of the principles of consumer protection. The central tendency of that reform (particularly in my own field-the law) has been to employ the model of consumer choice. That model sets as its purpose to allow consumers to choose the kinds of products they prefer. It seeks to accomplish that purpose primarily by supplying consumers the information they need to make choices and by insisting that they are given what they chose. Thus, for example, merchants may be required to reveal …

Business Vs. Medical Ethics: Conflicting Standards For Managed Care, Wendy K. Mariner
Business Vs. Medical Ethics: Conflicting Standards For Managed Care, Wendy K. Mariner
Faculty Scholarship
The increased competition for a share of the market of insured patients, which arose in the wake of failed comprehensive health care reform, has provoked questions about what, if any, standards will govern new “competitive” health care organizations. Managed care arrangements, which typically shift to providers and patients some or all of the financial risk for patient care, are of special concern because they can create incentives to withhold beneficial care from patients. Of course, fee-for-service (FFS) medical practice creates incentives to provide unnecessary services, and managed care can avoid that type of harm. Still, as Edmund Pellegrino has noted, …

Improving America's Health Care: Authorizing Independent Prescriptive Privileges For Advanced Practice Nurses, Mary M. Beck
Improving America's Health Care: Authorizing Independent Prescriptive Privileges For Advanced Practice Nurses, Mary M. Beck
Faculty Publications
Nursing and organized medicine are engaged in a heated and emotional debate over independent prescriptive privileges for advanced practice nurses. Uncontroverted data demonstrates that nurse practitioners provide high quality health care at a reduced cost, while increasing access to health care for under-served populations. It is apparent that advanced practice nurses could improve the delivery of American health care. However, organized medicine is opposed to autonomous advanced nursing practice and lobbies powerfully against it. Currently, the majority of state laws and regulations pertaining to advanced practice nursing do not promote a sound public health policy, do not contemplate liability issues …

Outpatient Civil Commitment In North Carolina: Constitutional And Policy Concerns, Erika Lietzan
Outpatient Civil Commitment In North Carolina: Constitutional And Policy Concerns, Erika Lietzan
Faculty Publications
This article examines preventive outpatient commitment, which targets those not ill or dangerous enough to be committed to inpatient facilities under state commitment laws. After discussing the history and design of the NC scheme, it explores constitutional and practical difficulties. Ultimately, it argues that individualized case management through local mental health clinics is the more effective and humane way of serving the interests of both the individual and the state.

Health Care Rationing And Disability Rights, Philip G. Peters Jr.
Health Care Rationing And Disability Rights, Philip G. Peters Jr.
Faculty Publications
This article explores the extent to which federal disability rights law limits the use of effectiveness criteria to allocate health care, either alone or as a part of cost-effectiveness analyses. To be more precise, it considers the circumstances in which disability-based classifications by health plans which would otherwise violate the anti-discrimination laws can be legally and ethically defended by proof that the excluded treatments are less effective than those which are provided. Part I introduces the expanding use of effectiveness analysis in health care, explains its discriminatory potential, and reviews the Oregon experience. Part II outlines the current federal law …
Nonprofit Hospital Mergers And Section 7 Of The Clayton Act: Closing An Antitrust Loophole, Laura Stephens
Nonprofit Hospital Mergers And Section 7 Of The Clayton Act: Closing An Antitrust Loophole, Laura Stephens
Faculty Scholarship
Nonprofit hospitals developed out of the charitable hospital movement, which began in the mid-nineteenth century.' The early voluntary hospitals depended upon local benefactors for financing.2 Originally conceived as charitable institutions providing long-term care, these hospitals began to change their focus around the turn of the century.3 A changed mission-providing care to all rather than just poor inpatients with chronic problems-required the latest medical technology.4 This in turn demanded increased construction of up-to-date facilities, as well as large operating expenses.
Recent years have seen further pressure on hospital budgets, as the health-care sector of the economy has become …

Domestic Violence And Partner Notification: Implications For Treatment And Counseling Of Women With Hiv, Karen H. Rothenberg, Stephen J. Paskey, Melissa M. Reuland, Sheryl I. Zimmerman, Richard L. North

Current public health policy encourages partner notification to protect those at risk of HIV infection. Provider experiences with partner notification, domestic violence, and women with HIV compel a reassessment of this strategy. In a survey of 136 health care providers in Baltimore, substantial numbers reported knowledge of their HIV-infected patients’ experiences with domestic violence before and after partner notification. Providers believed that fear of physical abuse, emotional abuse, and abandonment are important reasons why many female patients resist partner notification. Provider opposition to partner notification was strong in cases where female patients faced a risk of domestic violence. The realization …

Opinion Letter As To The Patentability Of Certain Inventions Associated With The Identification Of Partial Cdna Sequences, Rebecca S. Eisenberg, Robert P. Merges

You have asked for our legal opinion on the patentability of inventions claimed in U.S. patent applications 07/716,831, filed June 21, 1991 (the '831 application, or .'831"), 07/837,195, filed September 25, 1992 ("'195"), and 07/952,911, filed February 12, 1993 (."911"), all filed in the name of Craig Venter and others and assigned to the National Institutes of Health "(NIH)." We understand that NIH has abandoned these patent applications and has no present intention of filing similar applications in the future, but that NIH remains interested in the patenting of human DNA sequences from a broader public policy perspective. We have …
Regulating For Efficiency In Health Care Through The Antitrust Laws, Thomas L. Greaney
Regulating For Efficiency In Health Care Through The Antitrust Laws, Thomas L. Greaney
All Faculty Scholarship
The need to evaluate the competitive consequences of cooperation among rivals has long posed a dilemma for antitrust enforcement. Collaboration can reduce rivalry, raise prices and otherwise reduce consumer welfare; at the same time cooperation among rivals carries the promise of creating cost savings, correcting market failures and producing other benefits. In many cases antitrust doctrine requires a balancing of the positive and negative effects of coordination. In health care, federal antitrust enforcement agencies have increasingly turned to regulatory tools including policy statements, advisory opinions, speeches and regulatory decrees settling cases to strike this balance. However, the agencies have paid …
Managed Care As Regulation: Functional Ethics For A Regulated Environment, Sandra H. Johnson
Managed Care As Regulation: Functional Ethics For A Regulated Environment, Sandra H. Johnson
All Faculty Scholarship
Institutional context plays a substantive role in ethical analysis. Accordingly, efforts to apply the principles of bioethics generally and without regard for institutional context may prove difficult.
This article first addresses the aspects of two non-hospital settings - the managed care organization (MCO) and the nursing home - that make the application of hospital-derived principles of bioethics particularly difficult.
The article then considers health care providers’ complaints that extensive MCO regulations impede ethical decisionmaking and adequate care. MCO standards and regulations are value-based. Thus after identifying four categories of providers’ MCO complaints, this article evaluates the complaints under ethical norms. …
Medicine, Death, And The Criminal Law, George J. Annas
Medicine, Death, And The Criminal Law, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
Errors in medicine are common and are at least partly responsible for the deaths of 180,000 patients a year. There is increasing concern about medical errors and the steps that should be taken to prevent them.Until recently, hospitals have addressed errors after the fact, through mortality and morbidity conferences, incident reports, and the like, rather than before the fact, through attention to systems defects and prevention. Likewise, medical-malpractice litigation can be filed only after an injury has occurred. Malpractice litigation is intended to create incentives to improve the quality of medical care by making physicians and hospitals accountable for their …

Rare Diseases, Drug Development And Aids: The Impact Of The Orphan Drug Act, Michael Henry Davis, Peter S. Arno, Karen Bonuck
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
In this article, we examine the Orphan Drug Act with an eye toward its contribution to the public interest, using AIDS drugs to illustrate many of the central points. The major policy question is, How, if at all, can the act be used to meet the legislative goal of stimulating drug development for small patient populations without resulting in prices that make drugs inaccessible?
